2024 Regional Solutions: Aging in Place

In the face of rapid demographic changes and evolving urban landscapes, the need for resilient, inclusive communities has never been more critical.

• Demographic Shifts: Salt Lake County is aging rapidly. By 2060, more than 20% of Salt Lake County's population will be at retirement age, dramatically impacting the workforce and housing market​.
• Economic Challenges: Median income drops to under $60,000 during retirement, with increased poverty rates and financial instability for older adults​.
• Housing Concerns: Nearly 6 of 10 Utah renters age 65 and older are cost burdened, with most householders spending more than 35% of their income on housing costs.

Join us on October 2nd for the "2024 Regional Solutions: Aging in Place" event, as we confront these pressing issues and explore innovative strategies to support our aging population.
